Optimizing genomic selection for blight resistance in American chestnut backcross populations: A trade‐off with American chestnut ancestry implies resistance is polygenic
Abstract American chestnut was once a foundation species of eastern North American forests, but was rendered functionally extinct in the early 20th century by an exotic fungal blight (Cryphonectria parasitica). Over the past 30 years, the American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) has pursued backcross bre...
